Scandinavian Press - Quarterly News from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden
The Scandinavian Press Magazine, a quarterly publication available in either an electronic (PDF) or printed version offers a wonderful assortment of news and information from all of the Nordic countries.
The electronic version has advantages of hyperlinks included in advertisements and the ability to archive many issues without taking a weight-lifting class. The possible disadvantage is not having the extraordinary portability that a regular publication has to take with you wherever you go.
The stories included are, by nature brief, with a couple of featured stories that are multiple pages long. The magazine is available at www.nordicway.com with a newsstand Price $3.95 per issue.
